What material is threading made from?

Silk
Nylon
100% cotton
Polyester

The correct answer is: 100% cotton

Threading, also known as thread hair removal, is primarily performed using a material specifically designed to grip and pull hair from the follicle. The correct answer is 100% cotton because this material has the right balance of rigidity and flexibility, allowing it to effectively catch and remove hair without causing excessive irritation to the skin. Cotton's natural fibers help ensure a gentler experience for clients, making it a preferred choice in the esthetics field for this technique. Silk, nylon, and polyester can also be used in various threading techniques, but they may not provide the same level of control and gentleness as cotton. Silk, for instance, can be more delicate and may break more easily, while nylon and polyester may not have the same natural properties that make cotton an ideal choice for this application.
